gracie

[verse 1]
gracie left home at agae seventeen
with an old guitar and a diary
she wasn't getting much sleep
cause' mom's to drunk and dad don't give a ****
sisters not around she passed away in her sleep
she needed to forget
so,she pushed down the road and by late fall
she made her way into great st. paul
where i was riding the rail
she looked at the seat next to me
sat down and smiled politley
i could tell this girl was made of dreams
i said "hey, whats your name and where you from"
i saw her eyes start to well up as she said..

[chorus]

My name is Grace and i'm seventeen
and i took the train up from new orleans
i got a liking to writing songs
and i bet no one notices that i am gone

[verse 2]
so we talked on the light for an hour more
then we went to the river to play the guitar
that's where i fell in love
cause she played so smooth and sang so sweet
what the hell was this girl doing outin the street
couldn't belive my ears
she said "but hey man i gotta go,
give me your number so i can let you know
how this all turns out."
about four months later heard the telephone ring
on the other end i heard her it took me back to that day

[chorus 2]

hey this is Gracie i am in Kansas City
the world is all right when the weather is pretty
i got a new guitar and some brand new songs
i am heading down to california in not to long

[verse 3]
i said grace have you got a record deal,
caouse you have a voice thats sure to appeal
and have got a place?
she said yeah i got a place with a couple of girls
one does photography and the other one works
i said grace who has heard your songs?
well there was this guy with this studio van
said he'd record me, took my money and ran
but thats the way it goes..
she said hey now i have to go one of my room mates has to use the phone
all the things she'll never know

[chorus 3]
her name is grace she is seventeen
one day i'll see her face in a magazine
i'll never forget her melodies
and her songs that defy my reality
